Hi there! Here's an easy tuto for those who'd like to make robed CSMs using DA veterans robed bodies.

1) Assemble the body with a CSM breastplate

2) Hide the cheesy rope belt (which now appears only on the back of the body) with some green stuff and make uniform GS belt til' the chaotic belt buckle.

3) Add some extra cloth with GS on the torso.

4) Enjoy your new robed CSM body! Here are some example:

Hyenajoe.

Good tutorial, gives a nice result and the wings only sweeten the deal.

Yes, using that infantile and stupid term certainly was homosexual of Zydragon...

On topic: Nice work!

What's that 'brush-like thing' your using in the third pic?

It's a colour shaper, a great tool to work GS (once it's wet it's ideal for smoothing GS). You can find it in most art supplies shop.

Very cool stuff, I was actually planning to buy the DA kit and do the same to my CSM. I guess great minds think alike huh

**nirvana69**

awsome!

**Samus_aran115**

How many robed bodies come in the DA upgrade kit? This seems like a cool idea

The belt is too much trouble for me though, I'd just put a pistol or a grenade pouch over it.

**asimo77**

5 I believe, also heres a great article, from this site no less, that has a lot of SM sprue contents

There are 5 robed bodies in this kit (but if you don't need all the DA stuff that comes with them, I suggest you get the bodies only -remember, for conversions ebay is your friend

).

Concerning the belt, give it a try! It's the easiest part of the GS job. It only takes one minute per model, and even with my shaking hands problem I haven't screwed a single one!

**asimo77**

Another good site is bitzbarn.com I ordered some stuff from them a few days ago, should be arriving soon

**skotter**

nice models, could you please tell me where the wings are from, thnx alot!!

skotter

**Hyenajoe**

The wings are from the Possesed sprue there are 2 / box. You can get them in many bitzshops but they are usually quite expensive... You can always try to make your own winged bacpack with plastic tyranid gargoyles' wings and a regular CSM backpack.

**vignor**

This is pretty cool..

**Sageheart**

liking it!

**origarmi chicken**

i love it

**ekwatts**

The £12 DA upgrade kit comes with ten DA bodies. I've bought two of them to make Thousand Sons marines. It's a good kit, for ten complete marine bodies it's the cheapest way of assembling a ten-man SM squad.

**wolfmerc**

Just the stuff i was looking for! thanks.
